Groundwater Sampling Methodology and Equipment

The requirements of British Standards (e.g. BS10175 on contaminated land), Environment Agency Guidance and not least (for the moment) the EU Water Framework Directive, has added a new impetus for obtaining reliable groundwater quality monitoring dataWhen faced with differing hydrogeology, borehole and well constructions, what options do you have? Does the methodology you use produce "representative" water samples?. Course content

The full day training seminar is delivered at a central UK venue and will provide delegates with up to date knowledge including:

We have introduced two workshop sessions to allow delegates to think through core technical sampling issues and to share experience in the room.
We have added a new presentation to include information related to laboratories, sample preservation and quality control checks.
This is in addition to our usual core content:

Why screen length is important when selecting sampling methods
How flow within a borehole influences sample quality
An overview and comparison of the 3 main groundwater sampling methods i.e.
Well Volume Purge (3 or more well volumes)
Low Flow (or micro-purge) – including demonstration
Passive (or zero-purge) – including demonstration
Explanation of "flow-weighted average" and "representative"
Current UK guidance e.g. Environment Agency, BS ISO 5667-11:2009 (Groundwater sampling) and BS ISO 10175:2011 (Contaminated Land investigation)
Interpretation of water quality from long screened wells
R&D insights based on research at the University of Birmingham by Dr. Lindsay McMillan
Demonstrations and hands-on opportunities with groundwater monitoring equipment
Indoor and outdoor demonstrations (outdoor includes use of equipment in on-site 60m deep water well)
Equipment used and on display during the 1 day course includes:

Conventional Equipment

PIDs
Dip meters and interface meters
Bailers
Inertial pumps
Low Flow Equipment

Peristaltic pumps
Submersible pumps
Bladder pumps
Water quality equipment / flow cells
No-purge Equipment

Passive diffusion bag (Equilibrator)
Hydrasleeve.

Getting to Know Groundwater

The Getting to Know Groundwater course is a two-day introductory-level course designed to provide a foundation of knowledge in the complex areas of groundwater.

Day one of the course is designed to provide a basic understanding of the science, processes, behaviour and management of groundwater and surface water resources. This information provides a foundation for day two, which focusses on local groundwater/surface water issues through the presentation and discussion of local case studies.

Minimal experience in groundwater science is assumed.

Price: $970.00 incl. GST

Applied Groundwater Modeling with Visual MODFLOW Flex

Groundwater Modeling. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course introduces participants to the complete groundwater modeling process and provides a perfect introduction to the Visual MODFLOW Flex interface. Enjoy a mix of lectures and exercises focused on a variety of groundwater modeling concepts including conceptual and numerical model development, contaminant transport modeling, the use of secondary utilities for enhanced modeling results and analysis, parameter estimation and model calibration, and the analysis of model results.

Visual MODFLOW Flex Premium will be provided for use at the course. Visual MODFLOW Flex brings together industry-standard codes for groundwater flow and contaminant transport (e.g. MODFLOW-2005, MODFLOW-USG, MODFLOW-LGR, MODFLOW-SURFACT, MT3DMS, RT3D, SEAWAT, etc.), essential analysis and calibration tools (e.g. Zone Budget, PEST), and stunning 3D visualization capabilities in a single, easy-to-use software environment.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
This course introduces participants to the Visual MODFLOW Flex interface, and will provide an understanding of:

-Conceptual and numerical modeling workflows
-Fundamentals of finite difference flow modeling using MODFLOW
-Principles of efficient model grid design using Visual MODFLOW Flex
-Particle tracking using MODPATH to model the movement of particles through a flow system
-Computing sub-regional water budgets using ZoneBudget
-Contaminant transport processes and simulation using MT3DMS
-Parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis using the PEST utility
-Basics of building groundwater models with un-structured grids using MODFLOW-USG
-Visualization of model input and model results in 2 and 3-dimensional views.

WMU Hydrogeology Field Course

Hydrogeology Field Training. Greetings fellow geoscientists,

Are you looking for a summer geology field camp that will help to prepare you for a successful career in the geosciences while emphasizing state-of-the-art techniques for sampling, monitoring and evaluating groundwater systems? I am writing to inform you that the hydrogeology field camp offered by the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Western Michigan University, one of very few hydro-technical programs in the United States, is now accepting applications for 2019. This applied course has trained hundreds of students from around the nation and abroad. The hydrogeology field course teaches the following skills: aquifer testing, environmental surface geophysics, groundwater, soil and soil vapor sampling and monitoring, OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER, remediation and contaminant hydrogeology and well drilling, design and installation.

The Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at WMU will be offering the Hydrogeology Field Camp twice during the summer of 2019:

Session I: May 13 to June 21
Session II: July 8 to Aug. 16

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Registration for both sessions will remain open until April 15, 2019, or until filled. The earlier you complete your registration, the better chance you will have of securing a spot in the course. Enrollment is limited to qualified applicants with preference to those whom apply first and/or apply for multiple weeks. Please contact Tom Howe at thomas.r.howe@wmich.edu if you have any questions regarding enrollment or visit our website: https://wmich.edu/geology/academics/hydrogeology-field-course.
